To aZZ whoin it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWIN G. VAN WIE, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Detroit, in the county of Wayne and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stoves, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawmgs.

My invention relates to new and useful improvements in stoves, and consists in the novel construction and arrangement of parts, as will be more fully hereinafter described, and set forth in the claims.

One object of my invention is to produce a stove which can be quickly assembled andin which the whole interior may be easily re-- moved and replaced without the use of bolts or rivets.

In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective view with portions broken away to show the construction. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the oven-top. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section through the back lining on lines 3 3, Fig. 1.

Fig. 4c is a perspective view of one side and lining.

Fig. 5 is a vertical section on lines 5 5 of Fig.

1; and Fig. 6 is a transverse section through the oven, taken on lines 6 6 of Fig. 1.

' sheet metal, having A is a frame, preferably of cast-iron, of the ordinary type, andon this frame are mounted the sheet-metal outer sides A A and a sheet-'- metal back A preferably integral therewith. in the front of the frame is the upper or oven door opening a and the lower or broiler door opening a, which is provided with a suitable oven-door c and a broiler-door, (not shown,) and on the top of the frame, sides, and back is supported a drip-lining or burner-box B and a top B of any'desired construction, the drip-lining B being of the type usually arranged in gas-ranges below the top burners. The burners are not shown, as they may be of any desired construction and do not form a part of my invention.

C C are side linings, preferably formed of vertical trough-shaped channels 0, which form passages communicating between the several compartments of the stove, and vertical flanges c on the front and rear edges, extending beyond the bottom of channels .0. At the top and bottom of each lining is held in channels 0 the metal is bent back to form horizontal flanges 0 These flanges extend as far as the edges of flanges 0, so that on each lining all four edges contact with the side A, and the bottom flange rests on the frame, as clearly shown in Fig. 5-. The frontside of place by lugs c on the frame, and their rear sides are held in position bythe complementary sections D D of the back lining. These sections are troughshaped, and the edge of section D has a return bend or hook d, engaged by the edge d of section D. As these sections are formed of sheet-iron, they may be sprung into place and tightly wedged between the side linings.

E is the bottom, preferably of sheet metal, and is supported on flanges f of the rackplates F. These rack-plates are riveted or bolted to the side linings and are provided with corrugations for supporting racks for the shelves f an just above the bottom E they are apertured to form air-ports The bottom E is preferably jacketed by means of a spaced plate E, secured to its under side.

The back lining-sections are preferably supported on the frame in the same manner as the side linings, but may be supported on the bottom E, if desired.

.G is a strap secured to the side'lining in the channel 0 as a support for suitable broiler-' burner, and F is a racklate for carrying other shelves above the rack-plate F. These rack-plates preferably bridge the channel c and extend. to a point adjacent to the back G is a rack-plate above the burner-support G, having at its lower edge a flange g, on which rests the side flange h of the oven-bottom H. The' front flange h of this bottom rests on a flange if on the frame between the oven and broiler door openings, and the rear flange h rests on lugs (2 struck up from the back lining-sections. The oven-bottom is preferably jacketed by a spaced plate H.

Apertures d are provided in the sections D D slightly above the oven-bottonnand by means of these apertures the sections D D may be withdrawn for repair or replacement. These apertures also serve as supplementary outlets for the gases and products of combustion when-necessary. All burners are arthrough apertures j in the rear portion.

The front edge is out of contact with the top, heated air and gases passing into the jackiet. n construction of stoves apertures. are placed near the front of the top, and the circulation of air and gases is toward these apertures and toward the crevices around theoven-door, and most of. the rearportion of. the oven-spaces receives very little. heat; but

of the jacket to pass rearwardly again. over the top'of said. jacket. This .flue. also extends below the oven-top and registers with an opening K in thebaokA as an outlet. for gases passing through the aperture. (1

The stove may be assembled in the following manner: The frame, with the back and sides, being set up, the burner-boxer driplining is placed in position and secured'in the. The oven-top J is then inserted through one of the doors,itsfront edge placed on the I rear edge is then pushed up until it rests on the lugs I. The side linings are inserted in the same way and pushed into place.- with their front edges held by the lugs c on the frame,

and the insertion of the back liningsections holds the rear endsof the side linings securely in position. The oven and. broiler bottoms are placed as above described, and the stove is completed by the installation of suitable burners. (Not shown.) With this construction all parts are held firmly in spite of any amount of expansion and contraction due to extreme temperatures, for the reason that the spring of the metal will yield. to all strains.
